Fox Rothschild attorneys Leron Rogers and John Rose guide the Atlanta-based quartet, the first all-Black band to top Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart, into its next chapter

Fox Rothschild represented The Paradox, the Atlanta-based pop-punk quartet that made history as the first all-Black band to top Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart, in its newly signed publishing partnership with EMPIRE and Wave Theory Music Group. Attorneys Leron Rogers and John Rose led the Fox Rothschild team advising the band on the deal.

The partnership marks the latest milestone in The Paradox’s rapid rise, following its breakout EP and ahead of its next wave of new music. The band released its Proceed with Caution EP on October 2, 2026, and launched a sold-out headlining tour.

Under the partnership, EMPIRE Publishing, in collaboration with Wave Theory Music Group, will administer and monetize The Paradox’s publishing catalog while helping expand its reach globally. The structure enables the band to retain creative control and ownership of its work.
